Raptors

Brief

This contest is for your photos of raptors, which are carnivorous medium-to large-sized bird such as a hawks, eagles, owls or vultures, that have a hooked beak and large sharp talons and that feeds wholly or chiefly on meat taken by hunting or on carrion. Try to show the birds of prey doing something, not just "birds on a branch". While images of captive birds are allowed, wild raptor photos are encouraged. I look forward to seeing your beautiful colour or monochrome images of raptors.
